Abstract

According to the verses of the Qur'an and narrations, the apocalypse is a world full of material and spiritual trials and hardships. But this chaotic world should be a place for human spiritual growth and perfection. Therefore, there should be a purposeful plan so that the purification and reformation of man can be done according to it. Hence, we will understand the necessity that there must be some salvation at the end of human history. Undoubtedly, the divinity of this plan will introduce the most effective method and tool as well as the most capable person to manage this social, political, and spiritual salvation plan to provide the purposes of human creation and respond to the congenital need of human beings to establish justice and take steps in the path of perfection.In this research, without being exposed to fanaticism and religious prejudices, narrative sources and narrative interpretations of the Qur'an were cited to draw the general characteristics of the salvation method after describing the world of the end of time and explaining the features of the savior’s personality, the salvation plan that has the transcendent purposes of God and man to be explained.This research shows that from the point of view of rational and natural and monotheistic worldview, the origin of this plan is carried out by a savior and reformer with the mentioned characteristics and it takes humanity in a direction that feels the need for a savior so that with his help it can establish universal justice.In this research, the data is collected in the library method of interpretative narratives of the Qur’an and is analyzed in a descriptive-analytical way.
